Are you curious about law enforcement protocols, procedures, tools,
training and more? Would you like a first-hand look into the
inner-workings of your police department? Consider becoming part of the
26th Citizens Police Academy.

Slated to begin in March 2014, the 10 week Academy will offer lectures,
tours, and hands-on activities designed to help residents walk in the
shoes of police personnel, be better informed, and have a better
understanding about the person behind the badge. The course is free of
charge and available to individuals who work or live in Fairfax County.

Participants complete approximately 40 hours of instruction on topics
including:

9-1-1 Call Center

Patrol issues and traffic stops

Domestic violence

Crime scene and cold case investigations

K-9

On Saturday, November 16, the 25th Citizens Police Academy
graduation will be held; 35 residents will participate in the ceremony.
